Olivia recruits Walter and Peter to investigate extraordinary cases while trying to save John Scott. The investigation uncovers connections among Jones, the Pattern, and the parallel universe, ending with the team crossing into that larger conflict.
Olivia returns from the parallel universe as shapeshifters and their leader threaten both worlds. Walter's history with Peter is exposed, and the doomsday machine forces Peter to choose how the universes should proceed.
The team's divided work across the two universes reveals the stakes of the machine and the consequences of Walter's past choice. Peter creates a bridge rather than destroy either world, then disappears from the timeline.
Peter returns to a timeline that does not remember him and gradually reconnects with the team. Jones and Bell threaten the stability of the worlds, while the two Fringe divisions cooperate to stop the destruction.
In 2036, the Observers control Earth and the team follows Walter's fragmented instructions to recover a plan. Etta's death deepens the cost of resistance, while Michael's origin reveals a way to challenge the Observer future.
